We are pleased to announce that the funds*1 to which we provide investment-related services completed the capital participation in Nippon Concept Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda, Tokyo, Representative Director: Takayoshi Matsumoto, URL: https://www.n-concept.co.jp/, hereinafter referred to as “Nippon Concept”).
Founded in 1994, Nippon Concept is a specialist in international logistics, utilizing ISO tank containers—widely adopted in Europe and the United States—to handle liquid cargo such as chemicals and high-pressure gases. The company provides a wide range of logistics services globally, primarily serving major chemical manufacturers and trading companies both in Japan and overseas.
ISO tank containers are certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are recognized for their safety, convenience, and cost efficiency. After transportation, they can be reused through thorough cleaning, with wastewater and residual cargo strictly treated to minimize environmental impact. Moreover, as a logistics solution that enables modal shift—promoted from the perspective of environmental conservation—the demand for logistics utilizing ISO tank containers is expected to continue growing in the years ahead.
We aim to work alongside the current management team of Nippon Concept to achieve further growth through initiatives such as business structure reforms, the recruitment and development of talent to strengthen internal management systems, and roll-up strategies designed to expand revenue opportunities. Through these efforts, we are committed to contributing to the advancement of the international logistics industry as well as to the enhancement of social infrastructure with a focus on environmental preservation.
